Maybe we should arrange an intervention for this fella...May not be as expensive as a "brand name" but we could save him from hours of frustration....

I'm in. You'll have to pry the halides from my cold dead hands :razz:

You just know Dez is kicking himself now for selling his halides. Being a loser has never felt so cool.

Don't you mean HOT dead hands?:wink:

I'd like to join to please. Never had an LED fixture, just moonlights, so I guess I'm HOT (not cool).

Been a loser all my life. Just wanna make it official by joining THE club:biggrin:

This club just got cooler because I decided to join :mrgreen: MH and T5's here

LOSERS...........









I do have three 250W Halides but the attinic is supplied by two ecotech panaramas .


Chris

Where's Brad we need that removed.

My anger's turned up to "hqi" :twised:

what ya need, buddy??

Chowder's showing a bit of disrespect :biggrin:

Want him banned? Deleted? Want me to make up a whole new post? :)

I want some admin privileges =)

I want a lot of things I'm not gonna get, I gotta live with it :)

Somehow I see this thread tying in with the Jessica Alba one.

Sigh...yes, but we're not gonna go there, k?

I said that with no disrespect . This whole thread has been how cool it was to be a loser. So really I was saying you are all cool. I'm just jealous I can't join because I decided to go with LEDS instead of my old T5's for colour.






LOSERS.................

Oh yeah Losers are somehow cool. Lol I forgot already =)

Ok so you're sorta in the club still?

Cool thread!!! Can I join too? 2x250 halide...Has anyone created a cool avatar for this club?

I am actually working on something =)

do up a few brett and have a vote/poll hehe:)

I'm a bit of a dictator. Here's the new logo =)

I like it!!

:lol: Thats cool.




By the way. I still own my halides....:smile:

I hope the executive doesn't pull my membership for the unauthorized use of the clubs logo!! Maybe we could all adopt it as our avatar and roam the site muscling the card carrying fancy boys of the LED club.

Presently a member myself. But I will soon be experimenting with Multi Chip LED technology. 20w-60w of LED's in one 1.5" square chip!!!
Time will tell

uh oh we got a spy;);)

Love the new logo! Are halides really that noisy? I don't have any fans on mine. LOL, the rest of the tank probably drowns out whatever sounds they might make anyways :razz:

Spy, who me?? LMAO.




More just getting back to Canreef after a little break:twised:

PS, I love my Halides, what I HATE is my $175/month Power Bill!!!! I'm only home 3 wks out of evry 6 too.

Fans are a little noisy, but only have them on in August, Sept. My fixture does however, make a loud cracking sound when it cools down. Sounds just like glass breaking. Even though I know what it is I still check the tank every time I hear it. Scared the crap out of me the first time!

One of Ol' Blue's big brothers is a dual Bluewave 7 ballast. It's actually very loud with it's buzzity-hum thing. My dual PFO is quite a bit better.

Unauthorized use of the logo is encouraged btw!

I'm open to changes to the image (currently an EVIL Sol fixture) and the 3-word slogan so let me know if it needs changing. Maybe the noisey bit is unique to only a few of the old magnetics =)

I got 3 250W MH on my 150 and I got to have fan's on all year round! Tank get's 82+ even in winter if I don't :(

I've got a single bluewave and dual PFOs. All HQI. I wouldn't trade those beasts for anything :love:

In fairness to the club I proposed a measly 5k lighting budget to my wife for the new tank days before starting the club. I started the club when I regained consciousness from the ass-kicking I received.

Hey I love my M80s too! Long live Radium and excessive mercury content!

My old fixture used to be like that. This one dissipates the heat really well. 3x400W MH with 8x39W T5 and the temp never exceeds 80 except in summer when I need a few fans to keep it below 81

Yeah but you're like a King amongst the peasants with that rig Lance =) That thing is so nice you almost don't qualify to be a member lol.

I don't think my heater ever comes on. There are three 250W Magnetic ballasts on my 230gal system. The tank even heats the house. We don't need to turn the furnace on until the temperature outside starts dropping below freezing and this is an old poorly insulated house.

No.No.No! This club is for the "LOSERS without LED", and the bigger and brighter the halides, the bigger and brighter the loser!

I really would love to be a long time member of this club but the wife says we have to find a way to cut our power bills down. So with that said I will be building LEDS for all my tanks. I have 6 of those huge ass MH light in my large shop but will be changing them to high bay T5's, all our outdoor security MH light are also going to be changed to LEDs. This will take some time to complete the LED change over on the tanks so can I still be a junior member :lol:

My membership will be revolked if I keep buring up ballasts..had another PFO 400 HQI cook last night!

Is it too late to join???? I wanna be a loser too.... All T5 for me:biggrin:

How did the testing of the LED unit go at home Doug? I'm a bit hesitant to say 'yes' just yet...:lol:
